Yes he has a number of names

Prince Levi Victor Harmon (Harman) Luck

An enigma in the tree. He is listed a Edwards with Frank Edwards as his father but no marriage between Frank and his mother Rose Harmon, his birth cert is Harmon

I have had DNA results with others from the Edwards line that confirm a relation to the edwards

[softly softly]

I read that other 1891 entry as RENI Harman, possibly born France.

Is there a place of birth on the certificate.

[David Nicoll]

I did wonder about the transcription, but it seems to be Do, F*?

So in London somewhere.

Looking at the original, the word definitely starts with the letter'R'. It looks like Remi or possibly Rene to me.

I though S.S. had already established that the person in question was with his mother and family in 1891 (reply 13)

[wilcoxon]

Thank you, I will keep looking, His father was an architect in London and I have no other military people in the tree, He did not have a birth cert after he married and this could be why the place is so strange. another of the great family tree mysteries....:-)

Which father was an architect.. Frank Edwards or Robert Henry Luck.
Where did you find that information.

[cornishwalker]

Frank Edwards was the architect and from a census, sorry out and about at the mo so I dont have records with me

[David Nicoll]

That was rather why I put chance in my post.

This is obviously a somewhat complex family, and I would say this is worth a small amount of follow up.
Looks like a child living with relatives.

The OP might recognise the other surnames

I have found many people in unexpected places over the years, following exactly these kind of chance finds.
